Painting has been an important part of my life for more than 39years. I live on a ranch in Truly, Montana, with my husband Hugh. The ranch has been an inspiration for many of my paintings.I enjoy painting, creating, and developing the picture.I like the excitement of seeing my vision come to life and want the viewer to see in my surroundings.Most of my paintings especially the watercolors, depict flowers. I like to paint soft colors because I think these colors are soothing to the eye. I use stronger hues in my oil paintings. When I work outside I try to capture the saturation and tonal values so the viewer can appreciate the brilliancy of natural light .The visual impressions that result from the light thesubjects emit, transmit, or reflect enhance in my paintings. You’re my guest in this imagery and I hope you enjoy my process.
